NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on J.C. van der Lansstraat sits in Houtwijk, a quiet residential area with plenty of greenery. With 155 m² of living space and an energy label A, it's both roomy and efficient. The asking price of €699,500 is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €464,000, but the home is also 49% larger than the typical 104 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market.

Very good · 3 residents
I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet residential area with lots of greenery. Pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours. Hardly any nuisance. The only downside is no shops in the immediate vicinity.
